>I'd define consciousness as just the ability to acknowledge one's own self/being. Now, that only happens when some sort of external influence forces you to do so like when you look in a mirror, feel pain, or when some fag tells you that consciousness does/doesnt exist. Or something internal such as when the idea of consciously randomly pops into your head and then you think about yourself
That's really stupid, so you're saying a person isn't consciousness when he isn't thinking about his own consciousness? Don't you realize that there are many moments during the day where one's conscious but not even thinking about oneself?

Why is everybody on /sci/ such fucking brainlets? Lit is times more intelligent and knowledgeable than any of you fucking pseuds. Fucking hell. You don't even have any idea of what consciousness is and you come here talking bullshit like this.
